    100k subs is the number I have felt would be fair. SEs MMO track record doesnt exactly inspire tons of confidence in me for an unseen future. However feeling the severs will have somewhere between 2 and 8 times as many current players as it has now is fairly generous in my opinion.

    I have 8 crafts at 50. All I did was watch T.V. and spam standard for easy mode synths. Enjoy leveling those crafts in 1.19 and beyond everyone!

    FFXI neared 1 million active subs (since people don't consider character count important to anything) which was pretty high back in 2004, FMO neared 350k iirc, which was a lesser IP compared to FF.

    So...what track record are we speaking of? XIV track record? To be fair I never understood the whole "track record" argument.

    The track record of releasing an MMO that is a shell of a game, FFXI was a shell at JP release and so was FFXIV. This 2.0 coming in a year is basically a new game has SE learned how to release a new MMO in a state ready to be played and enjoyed by several hundred thousands of people? The 2 strikes against them say no. Fool me once(FFXI release) shame on you. Fool me twice(FFXIV release) shame on me. Fool me three times (FFXIV 2.0)...thats not gonna happen I doubt I will be here for 2.0.

    I would be willing to play 2.0 if I am not into another MMO by then but its a year away chances are something else will have hooked me by then.
